IMHO REVIEW :
i've heard so much about this movie... and then finally i watched it. i loved this movie - so much so i'm having a hard time mailing it back to netflix.
why you ask? well the movie is so well written - the transitions are beautiful and it's very artsy! did i mention the acting? it's wonderful. i especially liked John Hawkes who plays the shoe salesman... he has the ability to look crazy, sad, happy all with his eyes. it's creepy and wonderful at the same time.
FYI - one of the main characters who is also the writer and director Miranda July is a filmmaker, performing artist and writer and it shows in this movie.
i really can't go into the details of why i love it so... you'll just have to trust me and watch it. i've added a plot summary (at the bottom from amazon) but trust me. if you like indie + artsy movies with beautiful visuals and transitions + great story that's handled with care - you'll love this movie too.
Plot Synopsis from Amazon.com : 'Me and You and Everyone We Know' is a poetic and penetrating observation of how people struggle to connect with one another in an isolating and contemporary world. Christine Jesperson is a lonely artist and "Eldercab" driver who uses her fantastical artistic visions to draw her aspirations and objects of desire closer to her. Richard Swersey (John Hawkes), a newly single shoe salesman and father of two boys, is prepared for amazing things to happen. But when he meets the captivating Christine, he panics. Life is not so oblique for Richard's seven-year-old Robby, who is having a risqué Internet romance with a stranger, and his fourteen-year-old brother Peter who becomes the guinea pig for neighborhood girls -- practicing for their future of romance and marriage.'
